Targeted saliva multi-omics is a reliable, non-invasive method to capture physiological stress and recovery

Wenzel C, Kalaycik B, … Zimmer P. · 2026

A single saliva sample — analysed for proteins, metabolites and lipids — reliably tells whether a person exercised recently, even a day later, and is used to build a saliva-based "internal strain" score for tracking recovery.

High Frequency Saliva-Based Targeted Multi-Omics as Screening Tool in Professional Soccer — The Practitioner's Perspective

Wenzel C, Kolodziej M, … Zimmer P. · 2026

Over a full season a professional soccer team gave frequent saliva samples so staff could track each player individually and catch early signs of dehydration, supplement misuse, stress or medication effects before they became problems.

Salivary Metabolite Variation After High-Intensity Rowing Training and Potential Biomarker Screening for Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage

Yi Y, Ding J, Wang B, et al. · 2025

Untrained men performed hard rowing workouts; researchers then looked for chemical signals in their saliva that could flag muscle damage, so the damage could one day be detected without a blood test.

Preliminary insights into salivary proteomic versus targeted biomarker profiles associated with acute physical fatigue

Lindsey B, Bowden K, Shaul Y, et al.

This study compared two ways of detecting physical exhaustion from a saliva sample — measuring a few well-known stress chemicals versus scanning for a broader set of proteins — to see which better identifies when someone is fatigued.

Mass Spectrometry
What is it?

Mass spectrometry ionises the molecules in a saliva sample and sorts them by their mass-to-charge ratio, producing a unique spectral fingerprint for every biomarker. In one pass we quantify hundreds of metabolites with laboratory-grade precision. No needles, no reagent kits, just a painless 60-second collection that fits the tempo of elite sport.
